   I just finished reading this, and it's absolutely amazing! The male lead has a gambling addict father, and his mother goes insane because of his debts. The female lead's biological mother died early, and her stepmother and biological father only want to marry her off for a dowry. The female lead runs away to her grandmother's house, where she meets the male lead, and they begin a mutual journey of redemption. There are no misunderstandings throughout the story. The biggest turning point is when the female lead is taking her college entrance exams; the male lead leaves her because of his debts, and they are separated for two years. Later, the female lead even helps the male lead catch his father. It's truly a fantastic read, highly recommended!
